WATER You Doing to Help?

Auntie Litter is here to educate young scholars about water pollution and environmental stewardship! Although the 15-minute video clip is cheesy, it's an engaging look at the water cycle and conservation. Learners start by illustrating their hypothesis of what will happen to an ice cube left on the window ledge in the sun. There are several vocabulary words you can pre-teach before they watch the video. Afterwards, continue the study in a variety of cross-curricular directions, all of which are listed here. Take these ideas as far as you'd like; you could easily fill a two-week unit with these water concepts.
